The Top Article of the Week

Opt Out: A Simplicity Manifesto – Leo Babauta

I gave up watching television quite a while ago.  It wasn’t by choice, but rather having three kids who demand all my attention left me little time to sit and watch.  One magical day I found myself with some precious free time and I happened to turn on that large blank screen to see what was happening in the world outside my four crayon scribbled walls.

I was immediately met with uninterrupted advertisement after advertisement; the happy faces driving fancy cars,  eating unrealistically perfect foods, and looking fashionable in their new “threads” (is that what the kids call them these days?).  I remember watching commercials in my pre-kid days, not really giving them a second thought, but now, having “opted-out” of this particular media for such a long time, I found I had a new perspective on the force of nature they emit.   I haven’t felt the need to have and want materials things in some time, and while wanting things is not inherently bad, the freedom that comes with the absence of it had never been so salient.

This week, our best article of the week by Leo Babauta is all about “opting-out”.  Many of our clients are affected negatively by stress and much of this stress may be tied to an endless stream of emails to answer, comparisons to Facebook profiles, or in living an unauthentic life.  Inspiring those that walk into our offices to shed the things in life that take them farther from who they are and focus on the things in life that do matter to them will have innumerable effects on their health and wellbeing.  “The point isn’t to opt out of life. It’s to see that life is much more than we dare to believe it can be”.
